We talked a little bit about the salary cap last week as Adam
concluded that there was no more money left to sign players. All
the money was gone. Turns out figuring out how the salary cap works
is hard, so the guys take a bit of time to talk about some of the
details before getting into the latest round of free agent signings
for the team. Russ emails the show to ask about the logic of
allowing Hauschka to leave the team in free agency and Adam and
Brandan talk about the potential impact of losing someone who has
been proven to perform in clutch situations.

Now that some of the contract numbers are in, Adam has changed
his tune on one player in particular. The reports of a Marshawn
Lynch comeback continue and it's shown Adam a new trick the media
seems to be using in how they continue to cover a story which there
seems to be no new news. In actual news, Michael Bennett this
past week named his three breakout players for 2017 and Brandan and
Adam react to the names because one name in particular was a bit of
a surprise.

With the upcoming draft, Brandan takes a look at the cost of
moving up in the draft and a look back to 2011 when the Atlanta
Falcons swapped first rounders with the Cleveland Browns and
offered up four additional picks to move up to select Julio Jones.
If the Seahawks could have gone back and made a similar move, which
players would Seattle may have missed out on drafting? The guys
discuss the impact of making that kind of move.

The Sea Hawkers Annual Banquet is scheduled for May 20 in
Bellevue. Visit seahawkers.org for tickets. Emails from listeners
spur a discussion on the offensive line as well as thoughts on a
couple of the greatest comeback seasons of all time. Do better nods
go to the competition committee if there aren't any proposals to
allow for the Seahawks throwback uniforms and to sports news
outlets for overreacting to something that seems like a waste of
taxpayer dollars. Roger Goodell gets a Better at Life nomination
for being just like the rest of us when it comes to commercials and
to Sheil Kapadia of ESPN for writing an article that deserves
Seahawks attention.
